Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5742,5814 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5742,5814 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 585,121
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70785
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/70785
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5742/585,5814/121 is 18/70785
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 585,121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(585,121) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(585,121) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(585,121) = ( 585 × 121 ) / 1
LCM(585,121) = 70785 / 1
LCM(585,121) = 70785
